Arsenal boss Wenger confident Wilshere injury not serious

Wenger revealed this morning that Wilshere would not be rushed back into action, while forward Theo Walcott is also set for more treatment on what was described as a "minor hip/groin injury" picked up training with England ahead of the San Marino World Cup qualifier.

"Wilshere's injury is not better or worse. It was an inflammation of his [ankle] bone and we had such history with him [that] we are a bit more cautious than we would be with you or with me," said Wenger.

"We deferred a little bit his rehab by one week. We gave him one more week rest because it was wise medically to do it.

"Honestly, it's very difficult [to say when he will be back]. I believe in two weeks on Sunday, that means not the next game, the game after."
